Jim Clyburn is so #1 on Clinton’s shitlist. With a bullet, even.

TGY June 11, 2008 at 10:56 am

Maybe he could form a comedy team with McCain of the ‘odd couple’ sort.

[re=13095]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: That’s okay, I’m sure the Clintons are on Clyburn’s shit list too.

Dean=anti-Semite.

Hi Wonkette! Unrelated: MSNBC just flashed what they’re calling “Obama’s VP short list” on the screen, sixteen names. I haven’t been able to find it anywhere online and don’t remember who all was on the list. It was the predictable failed pres candidates, Webb, Sebelius and a few others. Anyway, thought you might be interested if you were able to find the list.

To which Reid replied:
“That’ll do pig, that’ll do.”

Then reid covered his mouth with his fingertips and giggled like a Japanese schoolgirl.

[re=13109]ReelectTilden[/re]: I’m sure his Jewish wife would disagree.

When is Dean retiring? Tomorrow?

[re=13119]floraway[/re]: Howard Dean’s wife is Jewish? Sounds like somebody’s got a touch of Bagel Fever.

Just because it was funny, doesn’t mean it was wrong…

You know what I’d like to see at the first McCain/Obama debate/town-hall meeting? I’d like to see Obama and his entire campaign staff do a Maori war dance before the debate gets going.

[re=13109]ReelectTilden[/re]: Some people, regardless of religion, too often talk too much. It happens. When it happens, other people, regardless of religion, notice. Neither point in and of itself makes either party a bad person… In future, before you call somebody a name, think, “is this funny?” And if the answer is ‘yes’ feel free to use all caps.

[re=13141]Serolf Divad[/re]:

Wouldn’t it be a Luo war dance? I read somewhere that he’s the son of a Luo tribesman.

Too bad I can’t remember where.

not nearly as funny as jon corzine’s comment a few years back:

“Sharing a media market with Chuck Schumer is like sharing a banana with a monkey…. Take a little bite out of it and he will throw his own feces at you.”

heeeeeyyyyyoooooohhhhh

weirdiowasculpture June 11, 2008 at 12:19 pm

[re=13145]HollowBrain[/re]: Nah. I want to see Obama and staff do that war dance from Zulu. McCain would have to take a five-minute break to change his Depends.

gurukalehuru June 11, 2008 at 12:26 pm

Luo, luo who-o-o
I say, we gotta go now
ay, ay, ay, ay, I say
luo, luo who-o-o
I say, we gotta go now

…but sort of with regard to the article, non/snarky comment alert…
I recently read “The Secret,” one of these nonsense self-help books which tells you how you can make millions of dollars by wanting it really, really bad, so I’m not recommending the book, but there was one point that made me sit up and take notice and it applies here. It was a baseball analogy and it said if you’re standing in the outfield and you’re afraid you won’t catch the ball, you’ll start to imagine all kinds of scenarios where you’ll drop the ball and jinx yourself, but if you imagine catching the ball then you’ll visualize that and actually increase your real world chances of catching the ball.
So, the strategy of building up Obama rather than just tearing down McCain makes sense.

Somehow, when I thought of it, that wasn’t a non-sequitur.

[re=13142]graceless[/re]: [re=13119]floraway[/re]: It was supposed to be sarcastic.

NebraskashireGentry June 11, 2008 at 6:30 pm

still not as funny as his Presidential campaign…that was (well, should have been) a show-stopper.

While we’re waiting, we can go to New Hampshire, Harry, we can go to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and then California and Texas and New York … And while we’re waiting, South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan, and then make our way back to Washington, D.C., to talk back to the White House! BEEEEEYAAAAAAWWWW!!!
